NEW HAVEN AHEAD.

The Home Team Does Not Play Satur-
 day Nfght-But she MerIdens Do And
 Get Defeated.
 Thanks, awfully, Waterbury! You did nobly Saturday night in defeating the Meri dens and this places the New Ravens in the leaa. The New Ravens and the Meridens were tied for first place. Meriden wanted to beat the Waterburys the worst way, and if, as the Hartford clique has said, the Meridens are running the Waterburys, then why did they net defeat the Waterburyss We have been told that if the New Ravens and Meri- dens got in a tight place that Waterbury would drop games to Meriden. Now if there was any truth to such statement why is it that Waterbury didn't give Saturday nights game to Meriden and 50 give the latter team the lead? The game was played in Meriden, the score being 3 to 2. Kisses and groans greeted the home players, as it was their third successive defeat. Perkins refereed.
 The Hartfords are doing some fine work of late. They defeated the Bridgeports Satur- day night. Jimmy Donnelly refereed and gave excellent satisfaction. Nearly two thousand persons saw the game. The score was to 1.
 The Bridgeports play here tonight. A close game is expected.
 Leary of this city is doing some fine work in the pool tournament. In Hartford Friday night he defeated Elliott, II to 5. Leary and Murphy are now tied with three won and none lost. Sanderson and Pease meet to- night.
 The Charter Oak Park association will soon be out with the conditions of the $10,- 600 purse to be trotted at the fall circuit meeting. The class will be 2:20, and this will shut out such dangerous horses as Prince Wilkes, Sir Walter, jr.. Rosalind Wilkes, Favonia, Garnet, Lorette F. and Skylight Pilot. Conspicuous among the eligible are Spofford, Princeton, Lowland Girl, Mcleod. Mambrino Dudley, Houri and Susie s. The chances are, however, that neither Princeton nor Mambrino Dudley win be trained, and the two Kentucky four year olds may prefer less difficult task than a stubborn fight with mature horses. There is also 6 chance of young horse breaking out as Patron did the past season, and destroying all previous plans.
 The following is the polo standing to date; New Haven, won s, lost 4; Meriden, won 8, lost 5; Hartford, won 6, lost 6; Bridgeport, won 4, lost 2; Waterbury, won 4, lost 8.

Deputy Collector Kennedy Afflicted.
 Much sympathy will be felt for MT. James J. Kennedy, deputy collector of internal rev enue, and his estimable wife in the sore af- fiction that has come to them in the loss of their eldest child Rose Mary who passed away yesterday morning. The little one had been ill but three days with membraneous croup, and her sudden taking off despite the best medical skill and the most devoted parental care makes the blow the heavier for the stricken father and mother to bear. She was peculiarly bright and winning child, one of those gleams of mortal sum- shine that finds its way into the hearts of all who come within its radius, weaving tsndrils of affection and attachment that blossom in the ripest bonds of love. The little one will be buried this afternoon from the home of the parents at the corner of Prince and Lafayette streets.

Landlord Kenna of the Selden House
 Loses $25O-The Porter Arrested but
 Is Released.
 The Sslden House was robbed Saturday evening and Landlord Thomas M. Kenna lost $250. Suspicion pointed strongly to- ward the porter, 8 young man 19 years old, and he was arrested, he being the only one that could be thought of who knew the money was there. Mrs. Kenna, the land lords wife, went to the safe and got some money. She stepped into another room leav- ing the safe open. The porter was the only one around. Shortly after Mrs. Kenna re- turned he asked to go out for short time and permission was granted. Not long after Landlord Kenna discovered his loss. The porter returned at 8 o'clock and he was ar- rested by Officer M0Gann. When searched he had very little money on his person. He was taken before Chief Bollman, who tried to get a confession out of him but couldn't, and so be was discharged as the evidence was not strong enough against the youth.

So far as prices are con cerned the faal sections at slightly lower figures than yesterday, but this result was not sig nifcant except as refecting the dullness The bank statement which is about the only important news on Saturday, made a fairly good showing, and the chances are that the real condition of the banks to-day is much better than the statement in dcates. According to the figures compiled by the Financial Chronicle the small interior movement last week more than offset by sub-treasury dis bursementS The bank statement, however, shows net loss in meney of $159,5oo. The loans have been reduced during the week nearly $1 800 900, suting decrease of deposits of OS3, ,903. The smaller deposits result in small increase in the surplus which is over $2 900 larger than year ago. The statement appeared to have no in fiuence whatever on the limited speculation.
